2. Being Happy is Healthy!

When you are happy, your body release happy chemicals and they are good for your health!

4. Be Happy because Today is a Gift!

Sometimes worries from yesterdays and tomorrows can hold us back from being happy today.
That's the time we should just "Let go and be happy!" :)
By being happy today, it brings our focus to the present moment.
Just like this saying...

"Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but Today is a Gift.
That is why it is called the present!" <3

Gifts always make us happy right?! :D
Let's not get caught up in the history and mystery and Let's enjoy the gift of Today and be happy!

5. We are Born to be Happy

I truly believe everyone is born to be happy and deserve to live a happy life!
And I believe No one was born to be sad and to suffer in life.
Things do happen in life that makes us unhappy, but when we can choose to be stronger than our circumstances and make a choice to be ourselves and be happy today! :)
Some people say you need this and that to be happy.
You don't need anything to be happy!
You certainly don't need to be all figured out to be happy. :)
Happiness is already within you in your heart. <3
Don't let anyone or anything stop you for being happy!

You have all the right to be yourself and BE HAPPY TODAY! :D

PS- It's kinda cloudy and gloomy in LA today.
Then I felt like listening to Beatles today to brighten up my day! :)
I thought this song might not be fitting for this blog post...maybe sounds a little sentimental! ;)
Yet! I think one of the best way to be happy now is just "Let it Be"! <3

WISHING YOU A HAPPY DAY TODAY, EVERYDAY & HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!
WARM HUGS & KISSES
XOXOXO
